Hey my friends, it's Matt. This is a 10 minute Bible hour podcast and this is one of those days where you get a disclaimer warning because it's just I don't know there's going to be more offensive things in

0:12.8

this conversation than usual I don't think they're actually offensive at all but

0:15.5

you know you get kids and stuff and you listen together and I don't want to make decisions

0:19.2

for you so yeah maybe preview this one first do you ever wonder when I say that if it's because I really think there's a chance that I'm going to destroy your kids childhood or if maybe I just want you to sit there and wonder what the offensive thing that we're going to say based on the passage that's up next might be.

1:25.0

protected the family jewels for John Crock as the story goes but the cup was

1:29.6

lost in the incident it shattered it was broken never to be used again I don't know maybe

1:33.1

they put that in the Hall of Fame they should have put that in the Hall of Fame

1:35.2

there should be a display of John crux shattered cup because what happened was you know he's in

1:40.1
